The Fantasy Source staff has been revealing their preseason fantasy awards over the past week or so, and with most of the honors, there are legitimate cases to be made for several players.

But now we've come to the fantasy Cy Young award, where we should all probably just say the name "Clayton Kershaw" and move on, right? Nope, that's not the way we work around here. Well, at least that's not the way three of us work around here...

Lutovsky's pick: Yu Darvish. Why pick against Kershaw? The last time a pitcher was the top-ranked SP in back-to-back seasons was 2005 and '06, according to our Roto Rater (Johan Santana). Be it injury, bad luck (especially with wins) or simple regression, it's tough to stay on top. If Kershaw falters in any way, Darvish is the best bet to take his throne thanks to his strikeout rate. His finished fourth among SPs last year and that was with just 13 wins.

Pinkerton's pick: Max Scherzer. Scherzer was our No. 2 SP last year, thanks in part to a league-leading 21 wins. That number will likely come down, but Scherzer's stellar peripherals – particularly his high K-rate – should keep him among the top fantasy pitchers. Scherzer, like Darvish, has only had one truly elite season, but he's a little riskier because he's had several more seasons of relatively average production. Brad is betting on Scherzer's improved WHIP being a product of improved stuff more than a surprisingly low .260 BABIP.

Valentine's pick: Jose Fernandez. It's entirely possible that Fernandez, who finished No. 7 among SPs, would have ended the year above Kershaw had he not been shut down early. Of course, the 21-year-old righty could see a bit of a sophomore slump. As talented as he is, his .240 BABIP seems likely to rise, and his 2.73 FIP suggests he wasn't quite as good as his 2.19 ERA indicated. (We went conservative and projected him for a 2.64 ERA this year.) Still, it's tough to argue with Ben's choice of Fernandez -- the talent is certainly there.

Bender's and Williams' pick: Clayton Kershaw. Way to go out on a limb, guys. In all fairness, Kershaw is the smart bet, and he'll almost certainly be the first pitcher selected in every draft. We rank him No. 1 among all SPs and No. 9 overall. Perhaps we should credit Bill and Craig for something that fantasy owners often fail to do – they didn't overthink things.
